Could you explain this a bit ?
I for one wouldn't want to drive anything at speed, when it steers even remotely like a forklift truck.

I am looking at a much simpler version, which would still have the important aerodynamic advantages but would be about two feet wider to get adequate stability without the articulated wheel system features.

While I can see the benefits in parts of the miastrada design, I can also see problem areas.
Such a radical concept always meets scepticism - it's up to the designer to prove the sceptics wrong
It'll take a proof-of-concept vehicle to show that the theory can be made into a practical, working vehicle that shows good mpg as well.
